My ldap config is using the variable %d in base search for domain replacement when dovecot will search for users in LDAP. Its works fine for dovecot operation.

But, for doveadm index, not. It ignores that variable and tries to pass a base search without domain. So, the search will not working.

This is the command: # doveadm -v index -A INBOX

This is my config: # cat /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap-userdb.conf hosts = 10.0.0.1 tls = no auth_bind = no ldap_version = 3 base = ou=%d,ou=mail,ou=services,dc=domain scope = subtree deref = never user_filter = (& (cn=%n)(objectclass=nisMailAlias)(ContaAtiva=TRUE) ) user_attrs = cn=rfc822mailmember,EmailQuota=quota_rule=*:storage=%$M,EmailQuotaSpecial=quota_rule=*:storage=%$M,eduPersonPrincipalName=eppn iterate_filter = (&(objectclass=nisMailAlias)(ContaAtiva=TRUE)(!(EmailQuota=0))) iterate_attrs = rfc822mailmember=user

This is the error reported by doveadm index: doveadm(root): Error: User listing returned failure doveadm: Error: Failed to iterate through some users

If you put a tcpdump to monitor the search, you i'll see 3 packets. The first is the LDAP searchRequest message, with this content: LDAPMessage searchRequest(3) "*ou=,*ou=mail,ou=services,dc=domain" wholeSubtree

If I change the base parameter of config file to this, it works perfectly: base = ou=net.domain,ou=mail,ou=services,dc=domain

tcpdump: LDAPMessage searchRequest(3) "*ou=**net.domain**,*ou=mail,ou=services,dc=domain" wholeSubtree
